Adam Wainwright

We’re very excited to bring you another round of St. Louis sports Valentine’s Day cards. Instead of going with a traditional holiday card format, we decided to leverage the fantastic “Rookies” iPhone app to create actual “baseball cards”. That means, for some of the cards below, they’re cards of Cards cards. Triple “cards” action.

In one of the spots, Freese is supposed to laugh heartily at the absurdity of Adam Wainwright not pledging his support for the program even though it benefits kids, because he is a pitcher and, understandably, despises home runs.

The ad turned out great, but only after producers were able to cut out much of the incessant (and quite frankly, irritating) laughing by Freese.

As usual, Joe Sports Fan has made use of its many industry sources to obtain the original, uncut version of the commercial. See for yourself:

Graham Bensigner started his own internet radio show when he was in the 8th grade. In 2003 (when he was 17), it got picked up by ESPN Radio and he’s interviewed the likes of Pete Rose, David Stern, Mike Tyson and OJ Simpson. Now, he hosts his own series entitled “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” and conducts interviews with sportspeople. Additionally, he’s from St. Louis and does stuff on the internet, so we figured he was suitable for our digital dojo.

Oh, and we also pay our proper respects to #36, Dennys Reyes…while also breaking down the Cardinals 2013 Promotional Schedule. Ground-breaking stuff.

Nearly two years ago, the world embraced the blockbuster of “Albertageddon“. The tale of young Dominican boy between the ages of 31 and 48 swept through mid-America on a journey westward while tormenting the inhabitants of the Gateway City. And who could forget that irreplaceable soundtrack featuring Aerosmith’s, “I Don’t Want To Miss a Mang”? Mmm.

The epic story resulted in an equally-chilling movie poster and the city of St. Louis mournfully transitioned to post-apocalyptic baseball in the hopes that they would never experience such fear and betrayal on the big screen again. They saw glimpses in 2012′s indie film “Molinatastrophe”, but with the recent departure of Chris Carpenter and another unsigned fan favorite, St. Louis is primed for colossal box office panicking in the coming months.

We hear that the owner of Pappy’s Smokehouse turns in an Oscar-worthy performance.

Side note: tip of the cap to @shaw0n for the “Zero Dark Fifty” suggestion.
